Correct answer: In November

The reason it’s referred to as the October Revolution is that Russia used the Julian calendar at the time. They were converting to the Georgian calendar which made the date fall into early November.

Sunne Draca, you should have explained it further that Julian Calendar is used by the so called "Slavic" countries which includes Serbia and other countries. Russia transitioned into Gregorian calender because I think they want to be a "modern and Western-style" country...
